My problem with Clapton is that having been pretty wonderful in Cream, since then he's played virtually nowt that hasn't to me been either a direct copy of his classic blues influences or totally insipid. Or both.
If I wanna listen to classic blues, I'll listen to Albert King, Buddy Guy, BB King etc, etc, etc - not someone playing their style but with a charisma bypass.
Knopfler's probably a great player but leaves me totally cold.
